I love the Houmas House - as my DH and I use to drive out and visit the different plantations when we lived in New Orleans (from 1991-1995). In fact, my absolute favorite is Nottoway at is has a special place in my heart. It is at this plantation on in June of 1990 my DH proposed to me when we stayed at the bridal suite (a little premature I guess). As our 20 year anniversary is a year and 1/2 away, we are thinking about celebrating in New Orleans and revisiting some of the planations again...as well as stuffing ourselves silly with cajun cooking!
